Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?
Sandals Montego Bay will be the only hotel we have blocked rooms for our wedding weekend. We are using the traveling company Traveling Bags to book hotel and flight reservations. There is a payment plan available for all guests so it can be less of a financial burden.

Pets are not allowed at any of the Sandals resorts.
What time is check-in/check-out?
Check-in is at 3:00PM. If you arrive prior to check-in, the helpful staff at Sandals will safely secure your luggage and inform you when your room is ready. While waiting, you can freely enjoy the property's amenities, as your all-inclusive vacation has already begun. Check-out is at 11:00AM, so if your flight departs later, you can secure luggage with Sandals and still enjoy amenities, like grabbing a bite to eat or sitting by the sea while you wait.
